Answer

$\frac{\pi}{18}$

Work Step by Step

$\int_{\sqrt 3}^{3}\frac{1}{x\sqrt (4x^{2}-9)}dx$ $\int\frac{du}{u\sqrt (u^{2}-a^{2})}=\frac{1}{a}arcsec(\frac{|u|}{a})+C$ $u=2x$ $du=2dx$ $a=3$ $\frac{2}{2}\int_{\sqrt 3}^{3}\frac{1}{x\sqrt (4x^{2}-9)}dx$ $\int_{\sqrt 3}^{3}\frac{2}{2x\sqrt (4x^{2}-9)}dx$ $[\frac{1}{3}arcsec(\frac{|2x|}{3})]_{\sqrt 3}^{3}$ $\frac{1}{3}[arcsec(\frac{|2(3)|}{3})-arcsec(\frac{|2(\sqrt 3)|}{3})]$ $\frac{1}{3}[arcsec2-arcsec(\frac{2(\sqrt 3)}{3})]$ $\frac{1}{3}[\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6}]$ $\frac{\pi}{18}$
